Dr. Catherine Harrington

An ice-queen cardiothoracic surgeon. A rule-breaking artist. One dare she can’t ignore.

Dr. Catherine Harrington doesn’t crack. Precision is her religion, control her armor, and the Harrington name a weight she carries without flinching. Emotions are inefficient—until a charity gala collides her world with Sloane Bennett, a chaotic, dangerously captivating artist who laughs too loudly… and sees too much.
A taunting note. An invitation Catherine fully intends to ignore. And yet—she shows up.
What begins as sharp banter and stubborn chemistry turns into something Catherine can’t suture closed late-night gallery shadows, a storm she can’t outdrive, and a woman who keeps finding the seams in her defenses.
But reputations are fragile, careers unforgiving, and Catherine has spent a lifetime being flawless. To risk her heart means risking everything she’s built.
Sloane is all color and heat. Catherine is scalpels and steel. Together, they’re inevitable.
